Answer:

Ryan takes the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanks them for being such great friends.

Explanation:

Ryan taking the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanking them for being such great friends is a less-than straightforward way of saying no and ending the working relationship.

From the supplier's perspective, Ryan taking the time to take them out on a lunch would suggest he's trying to show gratitude, so as to foster their existing business relationships.

On the other hand, coming to realize that it was his way of saying no and ending the working relationship between them would make the supplier representatives disappointed and making Ryan look less-than straightforward.

Owen Company makes a product that sells for $61 per unit. The company pays $37 per unit for the varlable costs of the product an
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

25%

Explanation:

the formula for the margin of safety is as follows

margin = current sales level -breakeven point/ current sales level x 100

expected sales unit = 20,000 units

the break-even point is fixed costs/contribution margin

fixed costs= $360,000

contribution margin = sales price- variable costs

=61-37

=24

breakeven point = $360,000/ 24

=15000

the margin of safety =  20,000-15,000/20,000 x 100

=5000/20000 x 100

=25%

Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work i
kicyunya [14]

The question incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

Eagle Life Insurance Company pays its employees $.30 per mile for driving their personal automobiles to and from work. The company reimburses each employee who rides the bus $100 a month for the cost of a pass. Tom, in his Mazda 2-seat Roadster, collected $100 for his automobile mileage, and Mason received $100 as reimbursement for the cost of a bus pass.

a. What are the effects of the $100 reimbursement on Tom's and Mason's gross income?

b. Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work is $0.30 per mile. What are Tom's and Mason's after-tax costs of commuting to and from work?

Explanation:

a.

For Tom:

He is required to include the $100 in gross income therefore, he would have to pay after-tax cost on the reimbursement.

For Mason:

He is not required to include the $100 in gross income due to qualified transportation fringe.

b.

For Tom:

Marginal tax = 24%

The after-tax cost of commuting = 0.24*$100 = $24

The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)

For Mason:

The after-tax cost of commuting = $0

The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": associated with an ability to find a job with relative ease.

Explanation:

Unemployment is the state in which an individual who is able and willing to join the workforce cannot find a job even if that individual is constantly looking for opportunities.  

<em>High unemployment rates are typically seen during recessions while the unemployment of a country tends to be low during economic growth. In the last scenario, mainly private investment helps to find a job to be relatively easy.</em>

Arlington Town uses an Internal Service Fund to account for its motor pool activities. Based on the following information, calcu
sergij07 [2.7K]

Solution :

The price per trip is given as $=\frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{No. of trips}}$

The number of trips is given as = 800

The total cost calculations are as follows :

Particulars                                             Amount            Calculations

Annual cost for automobile van             $ 18,000           $\frac{45000 \times 2}{5}$

Cost of driver salary                               $ 80,000        45000 + 35000

Cost of fringe benefits                           $ 24,000         80000 x 30%

Cost of insurance                                  $ 2,000                 \frac{6000}{3 \text{ years}}

Fuel and maintenance                           $ 8,000

Total cost                                              $ 132,000.00

Therefore the price per trip $=\frac{\$ 132,000}{800 \text{ trips}}$

                                          $= \$ 165 \text{ per trip}$
